Damn. I'm going to have to second this comment in totality. Good choices.

The funny thing about RTC is that the first time I watched it, I thought it was cute and everything, but I was a little. . .put out by how low key it was. Besides the 'climax' which I won't spoil for anyone who hasn't watched it because the way it unfolds is beautifully done, I didn't really think too much of it or why people were raving about it so much.

I sat down and watched it for a second time. And a third.

It gets better on rewatch. Like, astonishingly so. I can (and have) written at length about how much this episode really works on so many levels. It has so many subtle themes of season 3 crammed into it, especially regarding Abed and control, the way the group interacts when forced to bounce off of each other in such a normal environment is fascinating (I could say the same about Mixology Certification, which is also brilliant in that same regard except here by manner of force the characters get more breathing room), the subtle build to the climax across five timelines is so intricate and unexpected, and really what's remarkable is that it uses this high concept of timeline swapping and yet still does manage to seem so low key. And they did it in only 22 minutes.

Remedial Chaos Theory may not be the funniest or most exciting episode of Community, and it's not my favorite, but I've spent a lot of time getting to know it and being in awe of it and now we're comfortable buds with each other and I don't get tired of rewatching it.

Bienvenido de la casa chez trobed :D
